Municipal council Mona Forsberg (S), who is also responsible for community building issues, thinks that it is primarily important to build rental housing in front of housing rights for the young people in Jönköping municipality.

- I see tenancy rights as a safe place to live and I think this is where we can start and make sure we get tenancies that have low rents but still good quality, then we can move on, she says.

Mona Forsberg (S) is also clear that she wants to find a way to reduce the cost of housing rights in the municipality.

Construction is declining

In Jönköping County, 1520 new construction of apartments started in 2018, in 2019 that figure was 1138 pieces. Fewer than 1,000 apartments were built in Jönköping Municipality.

- Unfortunately we had a miscarriage last year that made us not get as many homes as we wanted and there are many reasons for that and that is regrettable, we aim to build 1000 homes every year, and I hope we will catch up this year, says Mona Forsberg (S)
